<p>Locale::Maketext::Simple - Simple interface to Locale::Maketext::Lexicon</p>

<h1 id="VERSION"><a class="permalink" href="./Locale::Maketext::Simple.html#VERSION">#</a>VERSION</h1>

<p>This document describes version 0.18 of Locale::Maketext::Simple, released Septermber 8, 2006.</p>

<h1 id="SYNOPSIS"><a class="permalink" href="./Locale::Maketext::Simple.html#SYNOPSIS">#</a>SYNOPSIS</h1>

<p>Minimal setup (looks for <i>auto/Foo/*.po</i> and <i>auto/Foo/*.mo</i>):</p>

<pre><code>    package Foo;
    use Locale::Maketext::Simple;	# exports &#39;loc&#39;
    loc_lang(&#39;fr&#39;);			# set language to French
    sub hello {
	print loc(&quot;Hello, [_1]!&quot;, &quot;World&quot;);
    }</code></pre>

<p>More sophisticated example:</p>

<pre><code>    package Foo::Bar;
    use Locale::Maketext::Simple (
	Class	    =&gt; &#39;Foo&#39;,	    # search in auto/Foo/
	Style	    =&gt; &#39;gettext&#39;,   # %1 instead of [_1]
	Export	    =&gt; &#39;maketext&#39;,  # maketext() instead of loc()
	Subclass    =&gt; &#39;L10N&#39;,	    # Foo::L10N instead of Foo::I18N
	Decode	    =&gt; 1,	    # decode entries to unicode-strings
	Encoding    =&gt; &#39;locale&#39;,    # but encode lexicons in current locale
				    # (needs Locale::Maketext::Lexicon 0.36)
    );
    sub japh {
	print maketext(&quot;Just another %1 hacker&quot;, &quot;Perl&quot;);
    }</code></pre>

<h1 id="DESCRIPTION"><a class="permalink" href="./Locale::Maketext::Simple.html#DESCRIPTION">#</a>DESCRIPTION</h1>

<p>This module is a simple wrapper around <b>Locale::Maketext::Lexicon</b>, designed to alleviate the need of creating <i>Language Classes</i> for module authors.</p>

<p>The language used is chosen from the loc_lang call. If a lookup is not possible, the i-default language will be used. If the lookup is not in the i-default language, then the key will be returned.</p>

<p>If <b>Locale::Maketext::Lexicon</b> is not present, it implements a minimal localization function by simply interpolating <code>[_1]</code> with the first argument, <code>[_2]</code> with the second, etc. Interpolated function like <code>[quant,_1]</code> are treated as <code>[_1]</code>, with the sole exception of <code>[tense,_1,X]</code>, which will append <code>ing</code> to <code>_1</code> when X is <code>present</code>, or appending <code>ed</code> to &lt;_1&gt; otherwise.</p>

<h1 id="OPTIONS"><a class="permalink" href="./Locale::Maketext::Simple.html#OPTIONS">#</a>OPTIONS</h1>

<p>All options are passed either via the <code>use</code> statement, or via an explicit <code>import</code>.</p>

<h2 id="Class"><a class="permalink" href="./Locale::Maketext::Simple.html#Class">#</a>Class</h2>

<p>By default, <b>Locale::Maketext::Simple</b> draws its source from the calling package&#39;s <i>auto/</i> directory; you can override this behaviour by explicitly specifying another package as <code>Class</code>.</p>

<h2 id="Path"><a class="permalink" href="./Locale::Maketext::Simple.html#Path">#</a>Path</h2>

<p>If your PO and MO files are under a path elsewhere than <code>auto/</code>, you may specify it using the <code>Path</code> option.</p>

<h2 id="Style"><a class="permalink" href="./Locale::Maketext::Simple.html#Style">#</a>Style</h2>

<p>By default, this module uses the <code>maketext</code> style of <code>[_1]</code> and <code>[quant,_1]</code> for interpolation. Alternatively, you can specify the <code>gettext</code> style, which uses <code>%1</code> and <code>%quant(%1)</code> for interpolation.</p>

<p>This option is case-insensitive.</p>

<h2 id="Export"><a class="permalink" href="./Locale::Maketext::Simple.html#Export">#</a>Export</h2>

<p>By default, this module exports a single function, <code>loc</code>, into its caller&#39;s namespace. You can set it to another name, or set it to an empty string to disable exporting.</p>

<h2 id="Subclass"><a class="permalink" href="./Locale::Maketext::Simple.html#Subclass">#</a>Subclass</h2>

<p>By default, this module creates an <code>::I18N</code> subclass under the caller&#39;s package (or the package specified by <code>Class</code>), and stores lexicon data in its subclasses. You can assign a name other than <code>I18N</code> via this option.</p>

<h2 id="Decode"><a class="permalink" href="./Locale::Maketext::Simple.html#Decode">#</a>Decode</h2>

<p>If set to a true value, source entries will be converted into utf8-strings (available in Perl 5.6.1 or later). This feature needs the <b>Encode</b> or <b>Encode::compat</b> module.</p>

<h2 id="Encoding"><a class="permalink" href="./Locale::Maketext::Simple.html#Encoding">#</a>Encoding</h2>

<p>Specifies an encoding to store lexicon entries, instead of utf8-strings. If set to <code>locale</code>, the encoding from the current locale setting is used. Implies a true value for <code>Decode</code>.</p>

<h1 id="ACKNOWLEDGMENTS"><a class="permalink" href="./Locale::Maketext::Simple.html#ACKNOWLEDGMENTS">#</a>ACKNOWLEDGMENTS</h1>

<p>Thanks to Jos I. Boumans for suggesting this module to be written.</p>

<p>Thanks to Chia-Liang Kao for suggesting <code>Path</code> and <code>loc_lang</code>.</p>
